This week, electrical and plumbing rough-ins were completed, the soils were backfilled and compacted, termite treatment was applied, and the slab was prepped for the upcoming concrete pour on Tuesday of next week.

It is never too early to start advertising and creating the buzz around the new dealership! A new Porsche is prominently perched above the construction fencing for everyone passing on Savannah Hwy to admire.

Owners and architects toured the site this week to check on progress. (don't worry, no suits were harmed in the making of this photo)

Once underground rough-ins were completed, the dirt was compacted and then termite treatment was applied to the soils.

Vapor barriers were installed to reduce moisture transfer between the soils and the concrete slab. All of the joints and the protrusions were sealed to form a continuous barrier. Finally, welded wire mesh was placed over the vapor barrier which helps unify the concrete and minimize future cracking in the slab.
